This is a fallacy that's been deconstructed so many fucking times the fact im about to do it again for you makes my tummy hurt a little bit but ill do it anyways

You're interpreting that quote as there being either one issue we can globally engage in, or another. But that's not how it is. You could also go into any thread talking about violence against dogs, or violence against the elderly, or against Palestinians, and make the same annoying pointless whataboutism and you wouldn't technically be incorrect that violence against men is just as valid, but you'd still receive backlash every time. Why? Because you're using this issue that's near to your heart, violence against men, and instead of engaging with it in an honest attempt to improve the situation, you're simply weaponizing it against others and their cherished social issues to the benefit of literally nobody.

You put activist in quotes but let me ask you, what op eds have you written? What charities have you donated to, nonprofits have you volunteered for? How many bricks have you thrown? I guarantee you none, because every single time I see someone doing the shit you're doing, it's the extent of their "activism," and THATS where the quotation marks belong, on your shit, not anyone else's.

If it's actually an important issue to you, why make your grand stand in the comments section of a post talking about a different issue

I think this signals the beginning of a very tough era for trans people more than it does anything about national security. But we shall see

The ideological score here must be worth more to Trump than the strength of America's military, already hurting for new recruits, which says a lot and frankly scares the fuck out of me
